DOODH (MILK) HALWA
Ingredients
1/2 gallon milk
1 cup sugar
Pinch of pink food color
1/3 packet of agar agar (1.5 ounce pack)
2 tablespoons sliced pistachio
Directions
- Boil milk and sugar together.
- Add a pinch of pink food color or any other color of your choice.
- Once milk is boiling, reduce heat to medium and add agar agar*.
- Occasionally whisk milk and agar agar. It will take about 20 to 25 minutes for the agar agar to completely dissolve.
- In a separate plate, take a couple spoons of milk out and let it cool to check if it will form in a jello/gelatin like texture. If it does not harden, continue to cook for another 5 minutes on low heat. If it does not harden at all and is a liquid, add more agar agar.
- Pour milk into a glass dish and sprinkle pistachio. Let it sit out until it cools. Once cooled, put dish in the refrigerator.
- Serve cold.
*Agar agar is a type of vegetable gelatin. This will get the milk to set to a jello. Be sure to only use 1/3 of the packet, which is approximately 1/2 an ounce. If you use too much, the end result will be too hard. If you use less, the dood halwa will not harden to a jello like texture. You can always add more agar agar later. You can find this at a Chinese/Asian grocery store.
Enjoy!
